[linux-audio-user] Skype and internet jamming/podcasting

[Shayne O'Connor]

just saw this on slashdot, thought it might be of interest to those
involved in this thread:


shashark writes "Technologically savvy users are merging these
technologies to "Skypecast", using Skype's service to distribute
recordings across the internet for free. This allows expert users to run
their own mini-radio stations, which can be accessed by any Skype user.
Skype does not actively support these uses, but encourages its users to
find new applications for their service. Other possibilities discussed
by Skypecasters at Unbound Spiral or Moodle are to turn an MP3 player
into a radio station for any of Skype's 29 million registered users to
dial up using their Skype line. Instructions also are available on how
to record a personal soap opera and use Skype to distribute it en masse.
Even more ominously, some Skypecasters record Skype calls and post them
on the Internet."
